 Rating:  - Separates the men from the boys.This game to me redefined the survival horror genre. Walking through darkened hallways has never sent chills down my spine like this before, but once you get a weapon in your hands fear will turn to courage and you will fight through the bums to figure out what dark presence is a foot. Please do not go into this game thinking its a FPS. Think of it as an FPB (First person brawler). I highly recommend this game if your tired of the same old stuff. Oh yeah... make sure you play this with the light ... Read More Rating: - Interesting ConceptCondemned PCI have to admit, when it usually comes to FPS-type games, normally I have to choose something else. I tend to choose third person shooter games 98% of the time, just because FPS tends to make me nauseated with a quickness. When I first started playing this game, I was disappointed...at first when I discovered that it was FPS. However, to my surprise, the graphics were so good that I never became nauseated once, which I cannot say for Half-Life, when I played it back in 1999 or 2000. It's ...

Thugs around every corner is something you'll have to get used to in following the somewhat absorbing story line of a cop on the tail of one of these criminals. This is no shoot 'em up where you can proceed with guns blazing, as usually you have to face these creeps up close with only a broken 2x4 as your weapon. It's not a hopeless battle and once you get ... Read More Rating: - A decent game, but could have been much moreI played the demo for this game and liked it a lot. It has a very chilling atmosphere, and I liked the serial killer story line. The retail game overall is worth a look if you are into first-person shooters and the horror genre. But after finishing the game (about 10-12 hours), I was left with the impression that Condemned could have been so much more if more thought had gone into the story line. Gameplay: The story line is somewhat trite. You're an FBI agent who is framed for killing two cops, ...

The gameplay is good, but repetitive. Mostly the same bad guys, different building. |
